Payment plans and autopay

Payment plans, deposits and autopay for programs

A payment plan makes a program affordable for more families, but only if someone collects each installment. BackPR charges each date automatically and follows up when a card fails.

How it works

Step by step

Made for: Camps, after-school programs, studios and sports clubs with fees over several weeks or months.

  1. Step 1

    Set the plan

    A deposit at registration and installments on dates you choose, or weekly, monthly or term tuition.

  2. Step 2

    Charge automatically

    Autopay charges the saved card or bank account on each date. Families see the schedule before they pay.

  3. Step 3

    Recover failed payments

    Failed payment retries and card update links let families fix a declined card without calling you. Payment reminders go out before due dates.

  4. Step 4

    Handle the exceptions

    Full and partial refunds, family credits, invoices, cash and check recording, and split payments between households.

  5. Step 5

    See the money

    Revenue and balances on the dashboard, payout reports and Excel or CSV export, plus QuickBooks Online and Xero export files.

For families
